Overview
- Lee finished at 11-under 277, edging China’s Weiwei Zhang by one after a 58-degree wedge to two feet set up a tap-in birdie on the 72nd hole.
- Starting with a three-shot lead, she double-bogeyed the 5th and 9th, lost the lead, then steadied herself with birdies at 10 and 13.
- Zhang carded a final-round 69 but bogeyed the 17th, creating the opening for Lee’s decisive closing birdie.
- The victory is Lee’s third LPGA title and ends a 3,143-day winless stretch, as she continues to manage a nagging right-shoulder injury that affected her sleep this week.
- Auston Kim and Aditi Ashok tied for third at 8 under, as the LPGA’s first Asia swing wrapped up before a one-week break and the U.S. Founders Cup; the event’s purse was $2.6 million with $390,000 to the winner.
